BYU-Pathway Worldwide 麻豆传媒 are already applying this principle as they pursue education and lead in their families and communities.

Focusing on discipleship can be difficult with all of the demands of life, but institutions like BYU-Pathway make it possible for you to grow your testimony while gaining practical skills through certificates and degrees .

BYU-Pathway鈥檚 flexible structure also means that it鈥檚 never too late to go back to school 鈥 or enroll for the first time. Jean Paul Carnevali from Colombia initially had to give up on education to take care of his family. Through the years, he experienced some professional growth but knew he lacked the theories and knowledge that could help him truly succeed.

Discovering BYU-Pathway was a way to recapture his dream of education while strengthening his testimony and family. Reflecting on his experience so far, he said, 鈥淏YU-Pathway was, is, and will be the continuation of a life more dedicated to the Lord, with greater economic, social, and spiritual possibilities for me, my family, and those around me.鈥

Challenges will come

President Nelson knows personally that God gives strength to individuals who are experiencing challenges. When faced with the grief of unexpectedly losing his wife, the Spirit gave President Nelson comfort and understanding in a moment of great pain. 3

Joni Brammer from Rexburg, Idaho, learned that truth through an unexpected trial. In 2022, Joni experienced a medical emergency that forced her to drop out of BYU-Pathway. While still not fully recovered, Joni heavily relied on the Lord to begin her studies again a few months later.

She said, 鈥淓ach day of each week, I have been getting better. Heavenly Father has been healing me through BYU-Pathway. He has given me something to work toward. I come to him every day; I pray before I begin my studies, and while I work, He heals me.鈥

Like Joni, God has promised that you will find healing and peace as you turn to Him. He has said, 鈥淐ome unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.鈥 5

God wants you to progress and become better, and education is one way to do that. As we learn from Jean Paul and Joni, it is never too late to pursue education because God will strengthen us when challenges come. The future is bright for those who choose to follow Christ.
